This place was perfect. They have everything you need. The kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed to entertain our family on the 4th of July. One thing I always worry about is the beds and how they feel and these ones are great. Then there is the pool!!! The pool is big!! Plenty of space for the family. I can’t complain at all about this place. We will be staying here every time we visit our family!!

Holidays 2024

Michael was an outstanding host. Attentive from the moment I contacted about availability.House is awesome! Of all the VRBO's we stayed in, this one had EVERYTHING! It was if friends said "go stay at our house," for the week. While the weather did not cooperate for us to take advantage of the pool, it was by far the largest pool we have seen in a rental.A fantastic home that we look forward to booking again.

Amazing Home and Host

This rental was incredibly nice. The host was very kind, friendly, and provided several recommendations. It’s in a very convenient location near the interstate so we could be to both Tampa and Orlando within 45 mins. We also appreciated that this was truly a dog friendly home and neighborhood. It was immaculately clean and we will definitely be staying again.

Very nice neighborhood

You read about people traveling through a neighborhood and the crappiest house is their VRBO. This is definitely NOT the case with this home. It is a very beautiful home in a well established upscale neighborhood. The kitchen is the gathering place (as well as the pool area) and it is all top quality appliances/cabinets/counters and design. It is a very nice home. If the owner wants any suggestions, they might add a dresser or something for guests in which to put away their clothes in the master bedroom. That is my only suggestion. The cold weather did not permit us to use the pool. The pool area was delightful.

About the host

Hosted by Michael

Host profile image
Originally from Ohio and was recruited to Florida in 1994 when we purchased this home. We raised our 3 children here and now are retired and living in our Summer-Haven home on Moosehead Lake in Greenville, ME.

Why they chose this property

This is a safe and quiet neighborhood and this property has a nice residential view from all sides. No trashy or run down homes or property near by. The neighbors are nice too.

What makes this property unique

This home is really nice during the winter months whereas you can open the house completely with the slider doors and great for parties and gatherings, watching football, and pool activities. Great sound system outdoors too.
